Braking
PLEASE CHECK THE BRAKING DISTANCE WITH TRUCK BEFORE OPERATION
THE BRAKING PERFORMANCE DEPENDS ON THE TRACK CONDITIONS AND
THE LOAD CONDITIONS OF THE TRUCK
The braking function can be activated in several ways:
By moving the accelerator knob (14) to the initial ‘0’ position or by releasing the knob, the
regenerative braking is activated. The truck brakes until it stops.
By moving the accelerator knob (14) from one driving direction directly to the opposite direction, the
regenerative braking is activated until the truck starts traveling into the opposite direction.
The truck brakes, if the tiller is located in the braking zones (‘B’). If the tiller is released, the tiller
moves automatically to the upper braking zone (‘B’). The truck brakes until it stops.
The safety (belly) button (1) prevents the operator from crush. If this button is activated, the truck
decelerates and/or starts traveling into backwards direction (‘Bw.’) for a short distance and stops then.
Please consider that this button still works if the truck is not traveling with tiller in operating zone.
g.
Malfunctions
If there are any malfunctions or the truck is inoperative, please stop using the truck and activate the
emergency button (5) by pushing it. If possible, park the truck in a safe area and remove the magnetic
lock. Inform immediately the manager or call your service. If necessary, move the truck out of the
operating area by using dedicated towing/ hoisting equipment.

Emergency
In emergencies or in the event of tipping over (or fall off a dock), keep a safe distance immediately. If
